Description

The Boundary Creek Times was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from September 1896 to March 1911. The Times was published first by the Times Publishing Company (1896-99), and then by the Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company (1901-1911), and its longest-serving editor was Duncan Ross (1897-1907). In April 1911, the Times was absorbed by another Greenwood-based paper, the Ledge. The Times was revived in 1983, and it continues to be published out of a small building in downtown Greenwood to this day.

Vol V, GREENWOOD, B,G, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1899, 122 No,' 18 MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN. g "pHE year 1899 will be an important one in the history of Greenwood. There are many indications that it will be a year in which the city will make rapid strides, and in which conditions will arise that must be met in an energetic way. It is of the highest importance that the municipal government should be composed of the very best men. It would be extremely foolish for any one having- the interests of the city at heart to set aside his public duty in order that he may follow his personal inclinations. If there ..were nothing- to be considered in the contest, but personal feeling-s towards the respective candidates, The;' Times would not say one word concerning- the campaig-n. It is too serious a matter however to jeopardize the interests ���of the city to satisfy a personal preference for any ��� candidate. We regret that there is a tendency to introduce personalities into the mayoralty contest. The) Times has refrained from discussing- the private acts or the private character of any candidate. We have criticised the style of campaig-n pursued by Mr. Hardy and his friends. That is the righ't of any elector or newspaper. We are supporting- Mr. Smailes, not on personal grounds but because we believe he possesses in a greater degree than his opponent those qualifications necessary in a chief magistrate. It is no reflection upon Mr. Hardy as a citizen and a business . man to say that he would not make as efficient a mayor as Mr. Smailes. The growth of Greenwood depended largely upon the fact that the people were always united upon everything that tended to advance its interests. " The future of the city is bound up in the pursuit of the same policy. Kvery ��� section, every interest should receive equitable treatment. Mr. Smailes has no election promises to fulfill to any section of the city, or to any faction or any interests. He has not pledged himself to build up one portion of the city at the expense, of another. He is pledged ��� to consider all people and all interests. In order that the city may keep pace with the development of the district tributary to it, many improvements will be needed. If those improvements are to be undertaken,^ will be necessary to secure money. Mr. Smailes has had a long and successful experience. He has demonstrated his ability to finance a large business and his experience will be of great service to the city. When a city begins borrowing it is of the highest importance to have some one in control who can make judicious loans, and can make such arrangements as will give the city the money needed, and at the same time" make the payments easy for the taxpayers. During the year men will pour in from every direction. Many will be those who have little regard for law and order. Good order and the due observance of law within the city will require the most, careful consideration. Mr. Smailes has not committed himself to any who may be pecuniarily interested in a loose and wide open town. He has sufficient force of character to assist in holding a tight rein, giving everyone ample liberty but no one too much license. In every progressive city the working man is an important factor. In his humble way he does as much as any one to further the growth and development of the city. His interests must be properly safeguarded. Mr. Smailes in his own business has always treated his employees with consideration and has always paid the highest wages. He has , also on more than one occasion declared himself in favor of paying the highest.wages upon public works. Mr. Smailes, in connection with the business which he manages has demonstrated that he is quick in meeting new conditions. Greenwood owes not a little to the fact that Rendell & Co. have been among the first to reach out for the trade of new camps, thereby turning it in the direction of the city, so that every business man received his share. Similar conditions will arise in connection with municipal matters during the current year, and we feel confident that the interests of the city will not be neglected if Mr. Smailes is Mayor. ' During the year men of capital will come to the district. seeking investments. To a small extent at least they are influenced by the class /of men in charge of civic affairs. Mr. Smailes is versatile and affable, intelligent and of' good address. He will make a good impression upon strangers coming to the city. , * These are a few of our reasons for supporting the candidature of Mr. Smailes. Mr. Hardy possesses some of, the qualifications necessa^, but in our opinion not in as great a degree as Mr. Smailes. Any government reflects the. character of the people. In a -young city, particularly, if would be the greatest folly not to elect the very best men. % E}very loyal citizen, everyone having the interests' of the city at heart, will discourage any policy that has a tendency to destroy that bond which has united the people in the upbuilding of the city, that has a tendency to deceive the electors. They will vote for the best men. - For this reason we feel confident that Mr. Smailes will be returned by a large majority, and that the people will give him a council that will materially assist him in giving a wideawake and progressive municipal administration. ���M/r, ���ite. ���He. CARIBOO MINES. Mr. Thos. Miller returned on Sunday evening from a six weeks' business trip to the Cariboo country. He went there in the interests of an English syndicate, represented by Alderman 1^. S. Moulton-Barrett. Mr. Miller's mission was successful, as he succeeded in acquiring an hydraulic property on Pleasant creek, near Barkerville. The property will be- worked during the coming summer, and in all probability Mr. Miller will make a- return trip in early spring in order to get the work started. Mr. Miller has had considerable experience among the placer mines of New Zealand and Australia. He went into the Cariboo district rather prejudiced, against it, believing that-there could be but little new in a placer country that had been worked for over forty years. Upon examination, he was astonished to find that no propertj' had been worked thoroughly. Those who made fortunes in the early days left the country and those who remained had not sufficient capital to carry on big- work. Capital is turning its attention to the Cariboo country, however, and in Mr. Miller's opinion the next few years will see a large amount of work undertaken in the district. _ During Mr. Miller's visit he met a Mr. Bremner, who represents an English syndicate. He invested a large' amount of money in hydraulic ground. Through the advice of Mr. Miller, he is now negotiating for the purchase of a $50,000 plant to work ground in the Fraser river. Mr. Miller was well satisfied with his trip. The Cariboo stages are the best equipped he ever traveled on. vV�� Me. �����if ���>ii- ~'tP Copies of the special holiday number may be procured at The Times office. Price 25 cents.

Clive Pringle of Rossland has joined the firm of McL^eod & Whiteside, barristers. He reached Greenwood on Wednesday. A. G. Fuller of Vernon arrived on Wednesday's stage to accept the posi. tion of accountant for the Russell Hardware company. Standing room was at a premium at the English church concert on New Year's E}ve. The programme as already published was successfully carried out. At the Lancashire house, Midway, on Wednesday, December 20, Mr. James Atwood and Miss Marian Phipps were united in marriage by Rev. Mr. Richards. Messrs. Arthur Mowat and R. H. Halmer are building an office on Copper street, next to H. A. King & Co's. They will do a general mining and real estate business. Henry Sauve has opened in the postoffice block with a large stock of fancy goods, stationery, jewelry and smokers' articles. Mr. Sauve is a nephew of Alderman Ph^.lan. He has been in the city for some time where he has many friends, and as he has a good stand and a well-assorted stock, he should do a large business. NIAGARA. A Italian named Antonio Servalle was found frozen to death on the road near Niagara last Tuesday morning. He was seen late the previous evening the worse for liquor, and it is'surmised he fell asleep on the road and thus froze to death. Dr. Foster from Cascade and Officer Cox left this morning to viewjthe body. The thermometer registered 30 de- v grees below zero on Tuesday night, and 25 below Wednesday night, and now an anxious crowd are enquiring the whereabouts of the Niagara real estate agent who assured them last fall, as an inducement to buy property that the birds were in song and the flowers in bloom all the year round at Niagara, owing to its mild climate. The Italian camps here wear a sad and dejected appearance, and the wily native of the sunny south no longer sings at his work, for the smooth- talking agent of the North German Ivloyd Steamship company and the private bankers no longer linger here to dilate on the joys and comforts of of travel by the above mentioned steamers, but both Oliver and Stabile have left suddenly for a healthier climate, forgetting in their haste to leave behind the $4,000 that had been entrusted to them by their countrymen. Numerous enquiries are made about them, and even the provincial police are taking a fatherly interest in their welfare and whereabouts. Frank Oliver, it is rumored, is wanted in Nova Scotia for a murder he committed there. He was then traveling under the name of Raphoel Vongaro and has a large scar on his"neck, supposed to have been received in his struggles with the man he murdered. Mr. Angus Stuart, of the inland revenue, paid a flying visit to Niagara yesterday on official business. The travel between Niagara and the summit has increased so much of late that Mr, Holbrook has had to put additional teams on his stage line. The trip from Niagara to Greenwood/via the Summit, now only takes 3 hours. Boundary Valley Lodge, No. 38, I.6.O.F. M EETS every Tuesday / \ Evening- at 8.00 in their lodg-e room at Greenwood, B.C.

After years of waiting, after petitions to parliament, after numerous broken promises, after subsidies had been voted and never earned, and after many disappointments, the people of Greenwood have at last the satisfaction of being interested spectatorsof the active preparations that are being, made to begin railway construction within and near the city. Pat Welch, the big railway contractor, was a frequent visitor to Greenwood during the week. He was busy directing the establishment of . construction camps in the Boundary Creek valley, and made almost daily trips between Niagara and Greenwood.. . Mr. Welch's first camp is near Tillman's mill, about five miles from Greenwood. There is a village, of tents here and husky Swedes are ready to tackle the rock work in the vicinity. Mr. Welch will establish other camps in the valley, so that in a few weeks the whole distance will be pretty fully covered. It is Mr. Welch's intention to crowd on as many men as can be procured. Men are coming from the Brooklyn end of the line and the tote road is pretty well covered with supply teams and men. Burns and Jordan have secured a sub contract from Mr. Welch and they will establish a camp near Greenwood. The heavy snow of this week delayed the construction of the contractor's big warehouse, which is being erected on the railway reserve across the creek. The frame is up and it will be only a short time until it is boarded in. Greenwood is to be the headquarters and supply point during construction at this end. With the commencement of active construction the report is revived that the railway doctors intend erecting a hospital in Greenwood, and that Dr. G. M. Foster, now at Cascade, will be in charge. Work in Copper Camp. Henry Brehch of Nelson has started men to work on the Copperopolis and Magnolia claims in Copper camp, properties recently bonded by the Kootenay and B. C. syndicate, which Mr. Brelich represents. Mr. Brelich intends sinking a 3J4 by 7 feet shaft on the Magnolia, and doing some work on the Copperopolis. There is already a 50-foot tunnel crossing the ledge on the Copperopolis, and the hanging wall has not been reached. There are two shafts on the Magnolia. Neil McCallum, of Columbia, one of the origjnal owners of the townsite, was in the city Sunday. $�� 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4�� 4* 4* 4* 4* $g * * * FJOF?

The steaks and chops appeared to be less tough when wrapped up with some of King's wit. He left Greenwood and went to Cascade, where he has charge, of P. Burns & Co's meat market. Here is the formal announcement of King's wedding as it appears in the Cascade Record: / " The first of these weddings, was that of Kingman Natt Rees, the popular manager for P. Burns & Co. of Cascade, who quietly slipped off to Spokane, and was married there last Saturday to Miss Bertha Irene Esta- brooks. The ceremony was performed in the Pacific hotel by Rev. Dr. Van God el, pastor of the First Baptist church of that city. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Stocker, who were in Spokane on a visit, were present at the wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Rees returned at once to Cascade and have taken up their residence at Hotel Cascade. Mrs. Rees is' a native of New Brunswick, but has been living some years in Boston, Mass., whence she came direct to Spokane last week to meet Mr. Rees." Mr. Rees is a brother of Mrs. J. P.

MEETING THE ELECTORS. The meeting- called on Thursday evening- to discuss municipal ���matters was well attended. Mr. Ralph Smailes gave a forcible,1 businesslike address which was frequenty applauded. His opponent, Mr. Hardy, refused to address the, electors. He ��� plead e'd that he was too busy to prepare a speech and would address the electors on Saturday eveninn. Charges of inconsistencies and of telling- half a dozen different stories to the electors were'made, but Mr. Hardy, refrained from answering-any of them. Mr. Thos. Miller was voted to the chair. He stated that all candidates would have an opportunity of addressing the electors and, called on Mr. Smailes. Mr. Smailes was well received. He stated that judging- from the present meeting- and the activity displayed, during- the week, a considerable amount of interest is being- taken in the campaign. Usuallj' in a small city municipal matters were treated with apathy and indifference. .He was g-lad such an interest was being- taken . and hoped that more attention would be turned to municipal affairs. He deprecated that it was necessai^ to take serious objection to some of the methods being employed by his opponents, because they were not conducive to the best interests of the district. (Applause.) The progress of the cityr depends larg-ely upon the people working- as a unit in its interests. (Applause.) Any attempt at this time at the very threshold of a larg-e city, to create sectional feeling-, should be strong-ly condemned. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Smailes referred to the pressure that was brought to bear upon upon him to be a candidate. He was in the field because a larg-e portion of the electors urg-ed him to be a candidate. He would not have run if a more suitable person could be secured. Before consenting- he wanted to know who were his supporters and he then numbered among them Mr; Hardy. Now Mr. Hardy had every right to be a candidate, but he had1 no rig-ht to impute improper motives for his (Mr. Smailes) running-. He had no rig-ht to charge him with running- under cover, of the townsite people. Mr. Smailes then briefly related the experiences of Ren- dell & Co.,during- the past year in connection with public improvements, to show that as far as his firm were concerned they had ���nothing' in common with the work of last year's council. Theasseftion that he was the tool of any one is as untruthful as it is unjust. (Applause.) Mr. Hardy fully realizes this but it does not suit the purpose to acknowledge it. (Hear, ���'hear.):. Mr. Smailes| had no axes to grind, and he did not promise to grind any for other people. (Hear, hear.) He had no'election goods to deliver. The battle ought to be fought on legitimate grounds, upon<i;the candidate's adaptability for the position. He urged his opponents to fight fair. Mr. Smailes then referred to the incoming year. Much would be needed in the way of improvements. If elected he would endeavor to see that the city's money was expended as economically and judiciously^ as his own. He re-, ferred to the question of wages. The man who stood on the street corner and shouted $3 a day was not as good a friend of the working man as the man who paid $3 a day when he had work to do. HisSfirm had always paid the highest wages and he was in favor of high wages on public works. He did not know what was meant by an open town. If it meant disreg-ard for law and order, he was opposed to it. He was in favor of -keeping control over such matters. He did not intend to cater to the votes of any section of the city. He asked to be elected by the people. (Applause.) If elected, he would endeavor to discharge his.duty justly and conscientiously. Whether elected or not, he was always ready to do his utmost to promote the interests of the. city. (Applause.) , Mr. Hardy was asked by the chairman and Mr. Smailes' friends to address the meeting. Mr. Hardy, stated that he did not come there for the purpose of addressing the electors. He would hold a meeting Saturday night when they would have the pleasure of listening to him. He was too busy to -prepare what he had to say. He did not know of the ^meeting until last night, ' ; Several attempts were made to get him on the platform, but he refused. Mr. Naden begged to be excused, as he was suffering from a severe sore throat. He would rather wait and hear Mr. Hardy. Mr. Thos. McDonnell would like to hear Mr. Hardy's speech. (Laughter.) He was a candidate, and if elected would do what was in the best interests of the city and what the majority of the. ratepayers requested. Mr. James Sutherland was on the Hardy ticket. He wanted to do his talking Saturday night. Aid. Phelan said that this was the third time he had addressed the electors. He was again a candidate because he was urged to stand. He referred briefly to the work of last year and other matters. Mr, D. C. McRae never before saw Mr. Hardy when he wasn't ready to talk (laughter). They were all anxious, to know what Mr, Hardy really believed in, or which one of the half-a- dozen different policies being circulated he intended to follow. (Hear, hear.) Mr. C. J. McArthur would have something to say at Saturday night's meeting. Mr. Ross regretted Mr; Hardy was not ready to tell the people where he stood and believed he would not be* ready Saturday night. There were too many policies circulated by .himself and his friends to make the task easy of promulgating one straight honest policy. He referred to the $3 a day question and the petition, which Mr. Smailes signed and Mr. Hardy did not. .v, Mr. Keith attempted to repudiate certain policies which Mr. Hardy and some of his friends had circulated. He was in favor of a ticket to support Mr. Hardy as mayor. Mr. Miller invited ��� the candidates to express their views on such questions as electric light, tramways and sanitary arrangements. 6 Mr. Smailes answered briefly ; Mr. Hardy did hot. Mr. Smailes also pointed out that on Tuesday night Mr. Hardy asked him (Smailes) not to be too hard at Thursday's meeting; consequently he had known about the meeting earlier than the night previous. Mr. McArthur wanted the day labor petition produced atthe Saturday night meeting. City Clerk Taylor said he would produce any document if ah order was procured from the mayor. The meeting adjourned with a .vote ��� of thanks to the chairman. W. JAKES, M.D., CM. Office: GREENWOOD HOSPITAL, �� ; Greenwood, B.C. QVIDNEY S. OPPENHEIMER, Mb., CM., 'Physician and Surgeon.

CAMP McKINNEY MINES. Messrs. Fox and Renier returned by Sunday's stage from Camp McKinney. Mr. Fox, who is a member of the firm of Fox & Ross, mining and investment brokers, Toronto, was seen by a Times representative, and he talked freely about his investments in McKinney. His firm have invested heavily in Minnehaha stock for themselves and clients. He visited the mine aiid was most favorably impressed. The Minnehaha has shown up well under development. Some remarkably rich assays: have been secured from the ��� property. From the first 40 feet in the shaft, the average assays were $100 per ton in gold and some assays gave $200. Assays taken from the crosscut at 65 feet gave $118 in gold. At the 100-foot level adrift was run to tap the vein and the first ore broken into yielded $135. The ore at this depth averaged $27.40 in gold. The pulp from this assay gave some fine showings of free gold, and the concentratesjjassayed $355.37. A sample from the same ore with the galena yielded $125.50. A heavily mineralized streak in the center gave $177.36. So well pleased was Mr. Fox with the property that he telegraphed his partner, J. Hugo Ross, not to sell any Minnehaha stock until his return. The company has now ample funds to develop it to the 300-foot level and also to purchase a 10-stamp mill and all necessary machinery. In fact the . president of the company, Professor Montgomery, mineralogist of Trinity college, is now en route to Camp McKinney, and in all probability the necessary plant will be purchased and installed immediately upon his arrival. Speaking of other Camp McKinney properties, Mr. Fox stated that he believed the Sailor the best prospect in the camp. Good work was being done on the Waterloo under the super intendence of Joe Murphy. An effort was being made to boom the stock of the McKinney Reefs company in Toronto. This company hold the Flying Dutchman and L,ast Chance claims. They are selling stock on the assertion that the, Cariboo vein passes through the Flying D u tch man. There is not the slightest possibility of the Cariboo vein running in the direction Of the Flying putchmari, and Mr. Fox is afraid that the prospects of the camp will be jeopardized by "wild cats" of this description. Mr. Foxv visited the -Mothei* L/bde, Knob Hill and other Boundary Creek mines; He says that they heard a good deal in Toronto about the Knob Hill, but refused to credit it. He was astonished at the showings. He will make an effort to convince his investing friends that Boundary Creek properties have not been boomed, but the showings are as stated. Mr. Fox believes Green wood will be the mining city of the district, but is also firmly of the belief that Columbia is going to be a large commercial and residential city.

The regular meeting of the Greenwood Mining1 and Commercial association was held in Rendell's hall on Wednesday evening.,. ^President Anderson presided. A. JV". Whiteside reported on behalf of /the mining committee certain amendments which they considered should be made to the mineral act.- After discussion, the association decided to recommend to the minister of mines that the act be so amended as to make it oblig-atory to make location notices legible and permanent, always giving the locator reasonable, time to put up such notice. Another amendment suggested was one to discourage the practice of abandonment, by increasing the fees for abandonment to $10. The association also recommended that a clause be inserted to the effect that the interest of a co-owner refusing" or neglecting' to do his share of assessment work, goes to the other owners 30 days after the time for doing- assessment has expired, and he has been served personally with a notice regarding- the matter. Another recommendation was one giving the agent of an absentee claim holder the right to file the necessary documents in an adverse claim. The report of committee as amended was adopted. Messrs. .Clive Pringle, J. Edwards L\,eckie and Ronald Harris were made members of the association. The report of the committee oh by- laws was adopted. Officers Installed.

Postmaster-General Mulock has inaugurated a domestic rate of postage of two cents for ordinary letters. The rate went into effect on January 1. The local postoffice has been notified of the change, but there is a scarcity of two-cent stamps, so that people will be temporarily under the necessity of using three cents. The change is an important one. Some time ago an imperial postage rate of two cents was established. The oldest inhabitant cannot remember any colder weather than that of this week. The thermometer at the .frovernment office, Midway, registered 39 decrees below zero on Wednesday, and Friday morning- was 42 degrees. It ran 30 below in Greenwood. the , i&- iV��- i!f!- tif tif ?iP Statement of Receipts and Expenditure for December j i st\ 1898. RECEIPTS.
